Having been inside; you can see that no renovation has taken place in decades. Although River Plate’s stadium is far better, it is probably in a similar state, needing investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a matter of time before a calamity happens It may look shocking but structures are supposed to move and are designed to absorb and bend - known as plasticity, if it's rigid it's more likely to be brittle and will snap, the engineer in me wonders what the tolerances are or what tests and simulations they have done to find that out. Finding out they haven't tested it would be far more mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there for a few games in 2003, absolutely crazy atmosphere but it looked dangerous inside even then- and I doubt much has been done to it in the meantime!

Barrs Court Red Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 There’s a video somewhere of a Dutch or German stand visibly moving as fans jump - always sticks in my mind, as if that lands on your toe it’s going to hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackofromSanJavier Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Well isn't this just typical of today's world. They failed my motor on the MOT test just for a fairly insignificant tad of rot. Once again, a case of one rule for an internationally known Argentinian Primera Division football club and another for the rest of us......

Bristol Rob Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Not a quote from any leading architect or health and safety guru, but a quote from my mother, who would make the observation about a dozen times a day during the school holidays when I'd be busy building ramps so I could do jumps on my Grifter, or climbing trees.

At about the same time I went over the handlebars of my Chipper (long forgotten smaller version of a chopper) doing roughly the same thing. I’d be working for NASA now if it were not for head butting a pavement in Cadbury Heath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
